you are using which button to select the option ..use the options button and never use home button when in recovery it will just open a rom manager logo
Recovery Key mapping:
Up & down : vol-up and vol-down
Select : Menu
Backup : Back
Hit the THANKS BUTTON if I helped you
ahhh. got it. thanks for the help guys. first time flashing =)

Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone and flashed clockworkmod, I noticed it wasn't working properly when it was only giving me blank screens when I made selections. Well I attempted a nandroid back up from the rom manager app and something strange happened, now I can ONLY boot into the faulty recovery image. As flashing a rom from this image is not an option is there anything I can do to get a rom up and running? I can still boot into download mode if that helps.

I had the same problem when I first flashed cwm. The button mappings are changed in the newer cwm. You have to use the soft keys in the bottom of the phone to make selection. Hone button is to select, not the power key.
To fix it, just power off, go back into download mode and flash the cwm kernel again, they did it for me.

Hello all
I am having a small issue with GTab
I can reboot into recovery every time from the power and volume+ combination, but sometime will not reboot if I go to the menu and reboot (power-off) menu, or if I go into CWM ROM Manger and reboot to recovery. sometimes I get the in and other time just reboots everything comes up. just like rebooting from the menu at time quicker..
I am running CWM v.8 Vegtab 7.1.0
now I believe this start after I flashed from CWM ROM Manger the a version CWM .. can remember the version (sorry ) screen was Orange and had the logo CWM in the center.. this is when I noticed the problem, then I reflashed back to V.8 thinking that would fix the problem and it did not.
I hoping this make sense I know it not world stopping or fun stopping, but it is a pain..
hoping someone had seen this problem before.. and could give me some direction to look at
Jim
1. Using the Power and Vol + key is the recommended method to boot into recovery. Avoid using the other methods.
2. Uninstall ROM Manager. It works fine on phones, but, is known to cause problems on the gTab.
3. Make sure both your ROM and your CWM are built for your bootloader (1.1 or 1.2). Since you said you have VEGAn-Tab 7.1.0, you can find out the version of your bootloader using the info. in this thread.
Suggestions:
1. Copy the zip file in post #3 of this thread to the SD card and then "install" it (once) using CWM.
2. If you're on a 1.1 bootloader, these CWM versions are available: CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and CWM-4.0.1.5
If you have the 1.2 bootloader install one of these CWM versions: CWM-3.0.2.8 or CWM-4.0.1.5. All are available on this board. Do a search.
thanks rajeevvp
I am using bootloader 1.1
every step worked great.. you are cool android person..
went with CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 since that what I had in the first place
Are there any pluses going to CWM-4.0.1.5?
thanks for your help again..

I like that it tries to use the external SD card first and only then falls back to using the internal one for backups, restores and update.zip installs. Other than that and the new menu colours, there aren't a lot of externally visible differences.
More info. in this thread.
rajeevvp,
thanks for the information.. about version of CWM.. I think I found the one that will not work with the reboot menu "power off" menu.. I have installed CWM-4.0.1.5 and tried the menu option and also running GScript to reboot in recovery mode and will not do it all the time with 4.0.1.5.
what happen is that is just boots normal, which is not a bad thing.
and I know you do not like the idea of going into recovery mode without doing the power and volume + method.
just thought you would like to know what I found out.
thanks again for all your help..
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?

I didn't understand this. Are you saying that CWM-4.0.1.5 does not do "Reboot recovery" correctly everytime? And the ROM also? Both should usually work (but, I don't recommend it) on the 1.1 bootloader.
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?
Click to expand...

No need. Erase misc only if you get stuck on the 3 birds or if you go into a reboots-into-recovery loop--both of which are unlikely given your CWM (bekit-0.8 or 4.0.1.5) and bootloader (1.1) versions.
rajeevvp,
Sorry for the late Reply..
only it I use Gscript reboot to recovery, Menu from the shutdown .. Select reboot and then either reboot or reboot recovery.. if I am using CWM-4.0.1.5 with VegenTab 7.1.0
I can always go in to recovery mode from the volume and power button combination.
using bekit-0.8 I can get it to reboot into recovery from anywhere..
yes, I thought it was werid too..
thanks for all your help
Jim
I don't recommend doing "Reboot to recovery" using any tool--GScript, the ROM option, or the CWM menu item. Your tablet may "hang" at the 3 birds splash screen or go into a "always-reboot-into-recovery" boot loop.
I've tried to install cwm recovery a few times and it says pass but I can never boot into recovery.
If i try to reboot with rom manager or install recovery w it, everything freezes up and i have to take the battery. Then I cry and repeat.

so you have CWM installed?
how are you trying to get into CWM? Power off completely, then hold the Vol's up and down button and power button...til you see the sammy logo then release the power button while still holding the volume button til CWM appears...
I am rooted and i have cwm installed and running ics on it. And i tried to boot into recovery with vol up and power.

Okay ....hold both the volume up "and " volume down ..."and " power .....all together ...but you must start from a powered off condition ,and you must push the volume buttons first ...then the power button ....
Hold until you get a single vibration ...then release the power button .
The phone will then show the Sammy logo and then recovery ...
You can release the volume buttons "after " you see the recovery screen ......g

CWM installed but stock recovery appears
I install CWM recovery via Odin and it was successful. But when I try to boot up my phone to cwm, it boots in to my stock 3e recovery. please help . I'm running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Since you are rooted, use the Quick Boot app to go to recovery from your home screen. Much easier than doing the vol up + vol down + power button thing.

So whats that extra steps to correctly flash cwm recovery.
The correct next step is to go over to the internatiinal note forums. . .

1) Pull out the back cover and take out the battery. It will shut your phone down.
2) Place the battery in its original place.
3) Press the CWM hard key combo to enter into recovery.In case of P500 press Home+Vol.Down+Power simultaneously.Release the keys after recovery menu shows up.
4) Wipe everything like Data, dalvik-cache.Format system.
5) Try to flash again or another ROM from "install zip from sdcard".
6) Reboot system after flashing.
Best of Luck.

Repeat the instructions but hold the other volume button, volume up causes fastboot, volume down brings you to recovery.

If you think you have installed CWM perfectly but its not starting in CWM mode, do following...
Check if CWM is installed perfectly and can be started with ROM Manager. Install ROM Manager and start ROM Manager and select Reboot to Recovery. If this time it starts in reboots in recovery mode, that means CWM is installed perfectly. If CWM mode does not start here, you might have not yet installed it properly.
Switch off phone, now press Volume Up and Home Key together (KEEP THEM PRESSING) and now press Power for 3 seconds and leave but don't release other two buttons. When you see LG logo release other two buttons. Now it should start in CWM mode.
WARNING: Dont press with Volume Down, otherwise you will BLANK the phone (HARD RESET)
thank you!
i will try it imideatley!
EDIT: i tried it with Rom Manager and it worked (it bootet into CWM)
Thanks!
